       > LOS ANGELES (AP) — A grainy video posted Wednesday shows the
       fatal shooting of a Black man by Los Angeles County sheriff’s
       deputies after he was stopped on a bicycle for a traffic
       violation, but the video does not confirm the police allegation
       that he “made a motion" for a gun.
       > ...
       > The sheriff's department provided no new information about the
       case on Wednesday but a department statement Tuesday said
       deputies tried to stop Kizzee for riding his bicycle in
       violation of vehicle codes, without specifying the alleged
       infraction.
       >
       > Statistics nationwide show that “biking while Black” can
       result in disproportionate citations for people of color. A 2015
       Tampa Bay Times investigation revealing that eight out of 10
       bicyclists ticketed by Tampa police were Black prompted a
       federal probe.
       > ...
       > Donny Joubert, vice president of the Watts Gang Task Force
       group in Los Angeles that was created to reduce gang violence
       and improve community relations with police, said residents on
       bicycles in communities of color are regularly stopped for
       supposed vehicle violations.
       >
       > But he said white cyclists in wealthy neighborhoods rarely
       face the same treatment.

       --- Quote ---
       > A French journalist who infiltrated the country’s police force
       has described a culture of racism and violence in which officers
       act with impunity.
       >
       > Valentin Gendrot claims the violence was so frequent it became
       almost banal and describes one incident where he was forced to
       help falsify evidence against an adolescent who had been beaten
       by an officer.
       >
       > “It really shocked me to hear police officers, who are
       representatives of the state, calling people who were black,
       Arab or migrants ‘bastards’, but everyone did it,” he says.
       > ...
       > “In my commissariat there were racist, homophobic and macho
       comments every day. They came from certain colleagues and were
       tolerated or ignored by others.”
       > ...
       > On one of his first patrols, he describes how a colleague beat
       up a teenage migrant in the back of the police van. “Two weeks
       in uniform and already I’m complicit in the beating up of a
       young migrant,” he writes. The incident was never written up.
       “What happened in the van, stays in the van,” he notes.
       >
       > On another occasion, Gendrot and his patrol were sent to
       investigate after a complaint about youngsters with a speaker.
       When his colleague humiliated one of the youths and the youth
       responded verbally, the youth was beaten, arrested and charged.
       >
       > “We could have confiscated the speaker and gone. Or said
       nothing and gone. Instead, it escalated and he was beaten,” says
       Gendrot.
       >
       > Worse still, when the beaten boy lodged an official complaint
       against the police, Gendrot’s colleagues concocted a story and
       insisted he gave false sworn evidence to internal investigators,
       exposing him to a charge of falsifying evidence, which carries a
       hefty fine and prison sentence.

       The same was going on for centuries in all colonies held by the
       Western colonial powers. This is Western civilization.

       White House directs federal agencies to cancel race-related
       training sessions it calls ‘Un-American propaganda’
       --- Quote ---
       > In the two-page memo, OMB Director Russell Vought says that
       Trump has asked him to prevent federal agencies from spending
       millions in taxpayer dollars on these training sessions. Vought
       says OMB will instruct federal agencies to come up with a list
       of all contracts related to training sessions involving “white
       privilege“ or “critical race theory,” and do everything possible
       within the law to cancel those contracts, the memo states.
